Today I want to remind you that My body was broken for you. My body was broken for you so that your health, heart, identity and relationships could be restored. I died so that you could have life in the fullest proportions. Many of you are not living in the fullness I died for. I am asking you to renew your understanding of the cost I paid for you, and the impact of that. By My stripes you are healed; in Me you are restored.
My broken body paved a way for you to walk in fullness and in redemption. I am calling you to live this way as a sign of the price I paid. If the Israelites could walk in divine health under the old covenant (Psalm 105:37) how much more is available under the new covenant, sealed by the body and blood of Jesus Christ?
He brought the sons of Israel out [of Egypt] with silver and gold,
And among their tribes there was not one who stumbled.Psalm 105:37 (AMP)
We are the body of Christ joined together by the sacrifice of My physical body. My brokenness made a way for unity not only with Me but with one another.
Jesus replied to them, “[a]I am the Bread of Life. The one who comes to Me will never be hungry, and the one who believes in Me [as Savior] will never be thirsty [for that one will be sustained spiritually].
John 6:35 (AMP)
Footnotes
[a] John 6:35 Jesus uses the words “I am” over twenty times in this Gospel. Especially memorable are those places where “I am” is followed by a metaphor that declares His deity and His relationship to mankind as Savior (this is the first of seven such references); see 8:12 (Light); 10:9 (Door); 10:11 (Good Shepherd); 11:25 (Resurrection); 14:6 (Way, Truth, Life); 15:5 (Vine).
Jesus Christ is the Bread of Life! When you partake in the bread we receive His life giving power, we get access to His strength and His life we can experience for ourselves.
He heals the brokenhearted
And binds up their wounds [healing their pain and comforting their sorrow].Psalm 147:3 (AMP)
Jesus’ broken body also heals our broken hearts and binds our internal wounds. Allow the restoration power of Jesus Christ to land on your heart today and bring wholeness where there has been pain and suffering.
Activation:
Take communion today and when you hold the bread decree over yourself ‘by His wounds I am healed.’
For those who need physical healing ‘The broken body of Jesus is enough for my healing.’
For those who need relationship wholeness and restoration ‘The broken body restores my relationship and unites the body of Christ.’
For those who need to come out from the grips of death and into the fullness of the life Jesus offers us ‘Jesus the bread of life, I receive your life today.’
For those who need healing in there inner most being ‘the broken body of Jesus binds up my wounds and make me whole.’
Sit and allow the power and love of His body, broken for you, to wash over you today.
But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was crushed for our wickedness [our sin, our injustice, our wrongdoing];
The punishment [required] for our well-being fell on Him,
And by His stripes (wounds) we are healed.Isaiah 53:5 (AMP)
